15 Political Questions for 2015

The beginning of 2015 will bring the first candidates for the 2016 elections to the forefront. Even though the elections are still nearly two years away, the game is on! These are Politico's questions for this year in preparation for 2016. I only listed the first 5 with my own commentary, but the rest are also interesting and deserve a read!

1. Can Hillary change?
An important question, since she will clearly need to appeal to more people to win this time around. (Having lost once before.)
2. Who emerges as the left's Hillary alternative?
It's an interesting point-there are many options, and the Democratic party needs to decide where their allegiances lie.
3. How far will Hillary distance himself from Obama?
I think it depends on what Obama does between now and election time.
4. Does Jeb scare anyone off from running?
More importantly, does Jeb have a chance himself?
5. What is Rand's ceiling?
I think that depends on whether the Republicans can find anyone who's more sane and likable.
